Yes it does... but only in the hands of an expert who knows what they are doing.

I'd treat PRs like that as proof of concepts that the thing that can be done, but I'd be surprised if they often produced code that should be directly landed.

In the hands of an expert… right. So is it not incredibly irresponsible to release these tools into the wild, and expose it those who are not experts? They will actually become incredibly worse off. Ironically this does not ‘democratise’ intelligence at all - the gap widens between experts and the rest.
